A money-saving hack used by air travelers is the subject of a new lawsuit by American Airlines.
American Airlines is suing a travel website that sells tickets that let people save money by exploiting a quirk in airline pricing.
In a practice called skiplagging and hidden-city ticketing, travelers book a flight that includes at least one stop, but they leave the plane during a layover. Generally skiplagging is not illegal, but airlines claim that it violates their policies. In the lawsuit, American accused Skiplagged of tricking consumers into believing they can tap"some kind of secret 'loophole.'" American said the website poses as an ordinary consumer to buy tickets, and warns its customers not to tip off the airline about the arrangement.American said Skiplagged has never been authorized to resell the airline's tickets.
